The Chorus is working hard learning not only some interesting music, but how music works. We have spent time learning solfege, which is the language of syllables used to sing tones of the scale. We even have a March which only uses that language - in 3 keys, no less! We have also been learning how to sing in three- part harmony, which is challenging.
Lathan Althide, Carly Jackson, Curstin Rutledge, and Elizabeth Cochran are preparing Auditions for District Chorus. The Auditions are October 11 in Petersburg, IL. About half of those who audition are chosen for District Chorus. Those who make it will rehearse and perform on the Western Illinois University campus on Saturday, November 6 with over a three hundred other young singers, band, and orchestra members. The public is invited to this concert at Western Hall at 2:00 PM. There is a nominal charge for the concert.
